To coincide with this year’s secret week, the Beta Theta Pi chapter of JHU has announced the release of Now That’s What I Call Beta: Greatest Hits, an album of Beta’s greatest serenades. The announcement was accompanied by a statement from Beta Serenade Coordinator Michael Cooper-Swann, who stated, “Unlike some other frats, we don’t feel like drugs are the best way to create brotherhood. Sometimes sobriety and the power the of song are all you need!”
